Live by the blast, die by the blast.
Political extremism is on the rise in Europe and around the world, with all the violence that goes with it.
But sometimes, the radical tactics they employ turn against themselves.
This was the case in the outskirts of the Italian capital of Rome, where the bodies of an ‘anarchist couple’ were found, buried under the rubble of a house, after the bomb they were making blew up and killed them.

The Telegraph reported:
“Police believed Alessandro Mercogliano, 53, and 36-year-old Sara Ardizzone were plotting an attack against a police station and Leonardo, a defense contractor, which made parts for F-35 jets.
Traces of ammonium nitrate, a chemical used to make explosives, were found in the debris of the abandoned building beside an ancient Roman aqueduct on Friday.
Police said the pair were supporters of Alfredo Cospito, the jailed figurehead of a loosely organized anarchist network called the Informal Anarchist Federation.”

Cospito is serving a 20-year prison sentence for a series of parcel bombs and attacks targeting Italian authorities.
“’There is a climate of tension that anarchists and far-left elements want to continue to create in our country’, Mr. Tajani, who is [deputy prime minister and] also the foreign minister, told Italian TV. ‘It worries us greatly because it confirms everything that was said during the most violent demonstrations that took place in many Italian cities’.”
